Hi , ves i have make a severat trys - the old GUI was only for a first impression . Now i hake the real hardware to figure out how the dimensions are . So i had to do some changings because of the Knobs we want to use . The last three days i must drwa the elements like switches , Knobs, LCD’s encoders in Target .

**
Ahh , one info for the electronic guys . A 700 point version of Target 3001 is 4Free .- all functions free. Usable for commercial . Here:Distrelec Deutschland

there are 2 Versions - one full but the full version only works with the PCB manufacturer , and the 700 Points version .
Important , the 700 point version costs normally 250 euro- but on distrelec this version is free and full compatible to the sales version . So Rolf and me can change the schematics and PCB’s
Maybe you need a PCB- prog and find the link helpfull.

Hello friends
Since the development of the boards a bit lasts, I have used the time and worked to improve the GUI on LCD screen. Thus one can distinguish the menu pages could have this now colored frames that are sorted by functional group. For example, have the menu pages for the oscillator all a blue frame and the LFO’s a green frame.

Pic 1:
The filter page was also revised. When you set filter function of the frequency response and resoncy the response is displayed as a graphic filter curve. A small Scope window on the right displays the waveform of the filter output in real time.

Pic 2:
The MiniScope has now obtained a better trigger function. The trigger level can now be set to negative amplitude values. On the left side shows a small yellow arrow on the set level. If the trigger level is set to 0, the trigger function is deactivated.
Next, the oscillator engine is on the agenda. I want to simplify the operating concept somewhat. This is then somewhat simpler all things.
Until nights post and have a nice weekend.
Greeting Rolf

Andre has the CPU board now developed ready. I need to check for errors, and if all is well this week are the first boards ordered in China now. I’m curious…

The two header rows K3 and K4 connect the CPU board via two ribbon cables from the control panel for the LCD display, buttons and encoders. The remaining pin headers are connected to the motherboard and is responsible for power, audio and control lines. The two 8-pin header rows on the left side of the CPU board absorbed card socket for a secure and firm hold of the SD.

Monday just is always busy and for me too in the development workshop.

To its “unlimited” way of sound production to increase the DE GENERATOR yet, the 128 fixed waveforms can now be downloaded as a waveform bank of the SD card. Overall, there is a possibility to 128 * 100 Waveforms and 128 * 100 Sample files to access. A waveform bank consists of 128 individual 256-byte waveforms. This can make on a PC with an audio editor (Audacity) and copied to the SD card. On the Oscillator page you can access waveform banks and sample-file banks. An editing of the waveform bank is currently not provided in DE-GENERATOR.

I’m currently working on a few Midi function for DE: GENERATOR. A little function is a Midi note management (Note Stack).
The notestack does the following: When I play a MIDI note, which marks number is stored at position 1 in NoteStack and played the sound of the synthesizer. Now… I let release the note, then the note is deleted from the note stack and the tone is muted. Simple…

But now we press two notes successively. Almost happened: Firstly the 1.Note is stored at position 1 in NoteStack and played the tone. After that 2.Note is press is stored at 2.place in notestack and played the tone for the 2.Note. Now there are two notes on the NoteStack. The 1.Note at place 1 and 2.Note at place 2. Do I now 2.Note release, the 2.Note is cleared on 2nd place in the notestack and synthesizer is played the tone for the 1.Note.

Same is happened when the 1.Note is released and the 2.Note is still played. Thereby the 1.Note is then deleted at No. 1 in the note stack and moved the 2.Note place. 1 The tone for the 2.Note is played without interruption. A total of 16 notes will be managed in the notestack.

Hello everybody… Now we plan the motherboard for the DE:GENERATOR. On the motherboard (see picture) implements the power supply, midi interface, VCA, Fx (delay circuit) and audio input / output. The Filter- and CPU-board are inserted later on the motherboard contacts. Some SMD components implement on the CPU board, it is delivered soldered and tested by us.

The audio input is not finished yet. We are considering to integrate a microphone amplifier ?. Then Andre will start with the layouts.
